Mark Delmont

Mark Delmont (born 1990, in Miami Gardens, Florida) is a Haitian-Jamaican multidisciplinary artist whose practice explores Black Miami, labor, community, car culture, family dynamics, and the visual languages of working-class life. Working across textiles, sculpture, portraiture, assemblage, and mixed media, Delmont examines the lives of blue-collar workers, neighborhood figures, and underrepresented Black and Brown communities through large-scale “fiber sculptures” and materially layered forms that foreground presence, dignity, and local memory.  Delmont is a self-taught artist with more than a decade of experience in mechanical contracting, a background that informs both his material intelligence and his focus on labor and everyday infrastructure. His work often engages Black iconography, cinema, hip-hop, and the built environment, using chicken wire, steel, fiber, wood, upcycled materials, and textile construction to consider how place, masculinity, aspiration, and survival shape life in Miami neighborhoods such as Carol City. His portraits and sculptural forms are frequently rooted in local histories while also drawing from artists and writers such as Ernie Barnes, Jacob Lawrence, and Octavia Butler.  His work has been presented through Oolite Arts, MASS MoCA residency programming, Untitled Art Fair, Miami MoCAAD, and other contemporary art platforms in South Florida and beyond. He received a 2025 South Florida Cultural Consortium grant, a 2025 Miami Independent Artist grant, a 2024 Harpo Foundation grant, and a 2026 Back River Road Residency through the Harpo Foundation. Mark Delmont lives and works between Miami and Brooklyn.
